Watershed Management: Watershed Planning

Roosevelt Creek Watershed

 

The Roosevelt Creek Watershed, located in central Pinellas County, is 11 square miles of intensely developed urban land and contains portions of the cities of Pinellas Park and St. Petersburg.  The watershed abuts an estuary marsh and discharges into the Gulf of Mexico via Old Tampa Bay through three major channels that total 9.5 miles in length and are made up of storm sewers and ditches.

 

Project Update:

 

• A watershed study was recently completed to provide information on flood protection as well as water quality and the health of natural systems.  Another study was completed in 2010 to evaluate the sources of nutrients in one of the watershed’s subbasins.  Please contact the Watershed Management Division to obtain copies of the studies’ reports.
